How hard is the DLPT?

The DLPT requires a lot of vocab “bottom up” to pass the lower levels; but for the higher levels, it requires “top down” recognition of contexts and “patterns of speech”. Students and linguists who have to translate every word do not do as well on the test as those who understand contextually.

Is the DLPT multiple choice?

A. The DLPT5 includes separate tests for reading and listening comprehension. In the “big” languages (for example, Russian, Chinese and Arabic) the test format will be multiple-choice. The test taker will read or listen to foreign language passages, read questions in English, and provide short answers in English.

What is the range of a.dlpt5 scores?

A. DLPT5s are available either in a lower-range test that gives scores from 0+ to 3, or in an upper-range test that gives scores from 3 to 4. Some languages have only a lower-range test; some have only an upper-range test; and some have both.

Are there language specific guides for the DLPT?

A. Yes. Most languages have a language-specific guide that includes samples in the target language. In most cases, the language-specific guide will be available at the same time, or some time before, the test itself is rolled out.

(Exception: if there is no lower-range DLPT5, a score of level 3 on a lower-range DLPT IV is used.) You do not need to have a score of level 3 on both skills. If you have a 2+ in listening and a 3 in reading, for example, you may take the upper-range test in reading (but not in listening).

What are the scores on the DLAB and DLPT?
